SUMMARY:Webinar: Stress Control Strategies for the Forestry and Timber Workforce
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Stress can directly impact safety. Whether managing forestry wildfires or working long strenuous days harvesting and hauling timber\, the forestry and logging workforce face unique situations that can predispose stress and challenges to mental well-being. The agriculture\, forestry\, fishing\, and hunting (AgFF) industries has one of highest percentages of deaths by suicide. Key factors contributing to despair and distress include financial losses\, chronic illness or pain\, a sense of work-life imbalance\, and lack of mental health support. And it is common to encounter circumstances beyond their control\, such as unpredictable weather patterns\, rapidly changing prices\, and long workdays sometimes in isolation. Perceived lack of control can lead to helplessness and hopelessness\, anxiety\, depression\, substance use and suicide. This session will explore the topic with a review of specific risk factors\, and discuss ways to support this workforce in an unpredictable environment. \nIntended Audience: This course is intended for workers in forestry and logging\, including fallers\, first-line supervisors/managers of forestry workers\, logging equipment operators\, sawing machine setters\, operators and tenders\, and truck drivers. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the training\, participants will be able to… \n\nIdentify the factors that contribute to stress overload in the forestry and timber harvesting occupations.\nRelate the effects of stress overload to the safety of the work site and personal life.\nIdentify effective strategies for effective stress management to improve safety and quality of life.\n\n Watch the Recording Here  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-39184-SH2 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.
